Default Still no brake lights after replacing switch!!!

I recently had my passenger side sway bar link replaced, and soon after I noticed that I had no brake lights! The only working light was the back window brake light. I replaced the fuse, checked bulbs, and was told by a friend to replace the brake light switch. I did so following detailed instructions...and still no brake lights!!

I have no idea if there is some correlation between the work I had done and lack of lights, or what the heck the problem is. This is not only hazardous, but f-ing frustrating!

If anyone has ANY ideas as to what the problem is or advice, PLEASE respond to this post.

Probably just coincidence. Meter the brake light plugs to ensure they are getting the pedal signal. Problem may be related to the bulb check circuit or fuse if you are only getting ground.
